Bored so I went to read up on the rumors and noticed this.
WOW!
I am speechless.
Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.
1. You cannot vote for a guy on the team that you cover. This would only rule out beat writers, not national writers
2. All manual votes will be weighed against an average score of the player's value as calculated by Baseball Prospectus, Fangraphs, and Baseball Reference.
3. Relievers are not eligible. Anyone with a basic understanding of advanced metrics knows that even the most badass reliever is never going to be as valuable to a team as an everyday above average player
4. You must fill out your entire ballot
5. You must publicly disclose your ballot
6. You must write a follow-up article explaining your thought process.

It seems like so many guys these days have provisions in their contracts for bonuses if they win certain post-season awards, even if they are unlikely to do so. I wonder if Verlander had any such provisions. I'm guessing he had a Cy Young provision, but an MVP bonus? Would his agent have negotiated for that?
